FREEPORT, Pa.—A steady stream of mourners from around the country gathered in Freeport on July 18 to honor the life of Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old retired fire chief who was killed last Saturday when a gunman attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
A husband and father of two daughters, Mr. Comperatore took his family to former President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, about a half-hour from his home in rural western Pennsylvania.
